Vivian said coldly, “That’s all I have to say, Mrs. Grant. I hope you will mind your own business from now on.”
After saying this, Vivian turned and walked away. Valerie, extremely upset, wasforted by Matthew, who said, “Just wait. She will <b>regret </b><b>this </bter.”
“<b>But </b>what about Katherine? If something happens, there will be no way to undo it, even if we regret it” Valerie was truly distressed
The guards from the Grant <b>family </b>were stationed at the door, yet <b>someone </b>was still abducted. Ultimately, it was their failure. If Katherine were toe to harm, she would never forgive herself.
Matthew patted her head, “Don’t worry. My people are. our son. I won’t let him have his way!”

For now, she decided to set aside her concerns and walt. Finally, Valerie gor some much–needed rest with her son in her arms
She was exhausted from the day’s events, and theforting scent of the baby y beside her gave her a sense of relief.
However, the next morning, a servant hurriedly woke her up in a panic. “Mrs. Grant! Mrs. Grant, something terrible has happened!”
“What happened? Is it Katherine! Valerie asked anxiously.
“Check the trending topic. Dale posted something!” the servant said<b>. </b>

Vivian looked hurt and defensive. “How could I have known?”
Patrick’s fury only grew. “Yesterday, you even went to the Grant family, telling them not to track him down. Now, our daughter is missing, and that little beast has ruined ud We have lou everything. You had better fix this mess! If you cannot reach him, do not even think abouting <b>back</b>!”
Only <b>now </b>did Vivian know fear. She tried everything–sending messages, making calls, and changing countless <b>cell </b>phones–before <b>finally </b>contacting Dale.
Hearing his familiar voice, she became extremely nervous.
<b>“</b><b>Dale</b>, Dale<b>, </b>let’s talk

“If I go <b>back</b>, <b>the </b>Grant family will definitely be waiting for me. I kidnapped their son. Do you really think they’ll let me off?”
“And as for you, I have all <b>your </bpany secrets. If you don’t pay up, I’ll expose everything” He paused and <b>continued</b>, “Do you think the Santos family will go bankrupt?”
<b>Vivian </b>was stunned. She had not expected Dale to be so cunning. “H–<b>How </b>much do you <b>want</b>?”
“400 million dors!” he said.
“What did you say? 400 <b>million </b>dors?” Vivian was stunned, taking two steps back in disbelief as she spoke into the phone, “<b>Dale</b><b>, </b>are you crazy?”
“Whether I’m crazy or not depends on you, Mrs. Santos. If you <b>don’t </b>transfer 400 <b>million </b>dors to my ount<b>, </b><b>I </b>might really lose it. When the timees, in a fit of anger, I’ll sell Katherine

Vivian was so frightened that her vision went ck, and she staggered a few steps. When she tried to speak <b>again</b>, the call had already been disconnected. Only then did she realize that this beast truly had no humanity.
“My Katherine!” She thought.
